I'll Follow You

I'll follow you as you lead the way
Your loyal partner I will stay
By your side I will stand
As you take me by the hand
Each and every passing day

If my worries you allay
And you chase my fears away
Show the strength that I demand
I'll follow you

Through all our sadness and dismay
Every night, together we'll lay
Through all our journey as yet unplanned
I know together we can withstand
Come what may
I'll follow you

Thanks to d'Verse Poets Pub I now know another poetry form called Rondeau. Check out the link for details. Tony Maude did a much better job of explaining it than I could. I am very intrigued by the form. This is my first attempt at the poetic form. I didn't bother with iambic tetrameter because I never quite grasped the concept of meters. They always trip me up. I'm not sure how I feel about the poem in the end. It has kind of an adult theme but I think my attempt comes across a bit juvenile. I haven't done much rhyming in my poetic journey, surprisingly, so this turned out to be quite a challenge. I'll have to keep trying.

smiles...a beautiful bit of commitment there...each giving what they have to another...one to lead another the submission to be led....i am not one for meter as well more than letting the words find their own rhythm...

About Me

I have been spending some time trying to figure out what I want out of life and what steps I need to take in life to get what I want. I have decided to focus on teaching journal therapy and have been researching what my options are and what I need to do to achieve that. I hope to eventually make that my career. I am also interested in poetry and photography. I hope to continue to cultivate my creativity and maybe even make them both side careers.

Why I Blog

This blog is mostly a way for me to navigate my very muddled journey to self-discovery. My past has caused me to put up walls to protect myself. Now those walls are hindering me and I'm determined to break them down.

I'm also using this blog as a way to post my writing anonymously. I love to write but I'm super insecure about it. Opening myself up to criticism scares me to death. My creative self is incredibly fragile. But I desire to improve so I have to do it.

This blog is going to be an outlet for me as well. Posting pictures, quotes, inspiring writing, and my random thoughts is a way for me to keep them and refer to them whenever I need to.
